| 24 | +# Basic info in the Azure AD sign-in logs |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +Azure AD logs all sign-ins into an Azure tenant for compliance. As an IT administrator, you need to know what the values in the sign-in logs mean, so that you can interpret the log values correctly. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +This article explains the values on the Basic info tab of the sign-ins log. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Unique identifiers |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +In Azure AD, a resource access has three relevant components: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- **Who** – The identity (User) doing the sign-in. |
| 35 | +- **How** – The client (Application) used for the access. |
| 36 | +- **What** – The target (Resource) accessed by the identity. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Each component has an associated unique identifier (ID). Below is an example of user using the Windows Azure classic deployment model to access the Azure portal. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +### Tenant identifiers |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The sign-in log tracks two tenant identifiers: |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- **Home tenant** – The tenant that owns the user identity. |
| 48 | +- **Resource tenant** – The tenant that owns the (target) resource. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +These identifiers are relevant in cross-tenant scenarios. For example, to find out how users outside your tenant are accessing your resources, select all entries where the home tenant doesn’t match the resource tenant. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### Request ID |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +The request ID is an identifier that corresponds to an issued token. If you are looking for sign-ins with a specific token, you need to extract the request ID from the token, first. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +### Correlation ID |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +The correlation ID groups sign-ins from the same sign-in session. The identifier was implemented for convenience. Its accuracy is not guaranteed because the value is based on parameters passed by a client. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Authentication requirement |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +This attribute shows the highest level of authentication needed through all the sign-in steps for the sign-in to succeed. In the Graph API, supports `$filter` (`eq` and `startsWith` operators only). |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +## Sign-in event types |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Indicates the category of the sign in the event represents. For user sign-ins, the category can be `interactiveUser` or `nonInteractiveUser` and corresponds to the value for the **isInteractive** property on the sign-in resource. For managed identity sign-ins, the category is `managedIdentity`. For service principal sign-ins, the category is **servicePrincipal**. The Azure portal doesn't show this value, but the sign-in event is placed in the tab that matches its sign-in event type. Possible values are: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- `interactiveUser` |
| 72 | +- `nonInteractiveUser` |
| 73 | +- `servicePrincipal` |
| 74 | +- `managedIdentity` |
| 75 | +- `unknownFutureValue` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +The Microsoft Graph API, supports: `$filter` (`eq` operator only) |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +## User type |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +The type of a user. Examples include `member`, `guest`, or `external`. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +## Cross-tenant access type |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +This attribute describes the type of cross-tenant access used by the actor to access the resource. Possible values are: |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +- `none` |
| 89 | +- `b2bCollaboration` |
| 90 | +- `b2bDirectConnect` |
| 91 | +- `microsoftSupport` |
| 92 | +- `serviceProvider` |
| 93 | +- `unknownFutureValue` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +If the sign-in did not the pass the boundaries of a tenant, the value is `none`. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +## Conditional access evaluation |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +This value shows whether continuous access evaluation (CAE) was applied to the sign-in event. There are multiple sign-in requests for each authentication. Some are shown on the interactive tab, while others are shown on the non-interactive tab. CAE is only displayed as true for one of the requests, and it can be on the interactive tab or non-interactive tab.
